Its interesting you bring that up, this is certainly a culture difference .
In many parts of Europe , many people chat openly about their sex lives.
Sadly quite a lot of it is boasting with a huge amount of lying.

The problem I find with sex is that its commercialised , its used to sell this and that.
Anyone that does not find interest in it for whatever reason feels marginalised.

Sex is just a human activity like walking...people should move on .

So, when was the last time that you and wife went walking and 9 months later she popped out a kid? I think your idea of sex is whack.

EDIT: When was the last time I went on a walk with your wife. haha..oh gosh...

LOL , that's funny , I have walked to woods and fucked, but that's not what I meant.
What I meant was why do some people make such a big deal out of it.
Alexandra Kollontai infamously said after the Russian revolution to Lenin "Love should be free, like drinking water from a glass." , she was refering to what was then known as free love. That statement that pretty much sums up what I meant. Of course sex can involve love, for example if my girlfriend slept with someone, without telling me , I would be very upset. If she asked my permission, I could react differently, because she has never asked its never something I have thought about. It may sound kinda strange but its not unknown.

Here are a couple of links on it

I hope that gives you a better understanding on what I meant.

I'm thankful for my children, my wife, my family, Atheism, Science, Dr. Barack Obama, Dr. Rachel Maddow, Ubuntu, and TLLTS.

BTW - this thread is off-topic and should be in "Anything Goes"
